Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 356 Collector

  The tour of the manor is completed, but it is too large, and you can only take a rough tour in a day.

  Back to the vineyard, dinner preparation begins. An Feng took the time to bathe the tiger. In the past two days, the bear child and his parents went on a self-driving tour. They went south to Los Angeles and San Diego. There are many things to do, and they will not be able to return for a while. It is rare for Xiaobai not to be harassed by the little bug chance of disturbance.

  An Feng pulled up his sleeves high, covered Xiaobai's body with soap bubbles, and scratched it seriously. Xiaobai squinted his eyes to enjoy it, and then connected to the faucet, ready to give it a rinse. Joanna came out with An Feng's mobile phone in her hand: "Honey, there is a call from China."

  Joanna put the phone to his ear, An Feng directed water at Xiao Bai, and said, "Hello?"

   "Are you free now?" Xiang Yang's voice came.

   "I'm bathing the tiger, what's the matter?" An Feng washed the bubbles off his hands, and Brandon asked a maid to get a towel.

  Wu Qian is learning by the side, and Brandon's details are reflected in every part.

   "Bathing a tiger? This kind of thing can only happen to you." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

  An Feng took the maid's towel to wipe his hands, and gave it back to her, then took the mobile phone in Joanna's hand, and she took An Feng's water pipe, and played with Xiaobai. An Feng stayed away from them, walked to the side and talked on the phone: "Is it something about the store, has it been settled?"

Since Nokia's global sales, it has no problem to enter China. As An Feng, who has internal channels, he can naturally seize the opportunity. Before the direct sales store was officially established, they began to look for stores in major cities. Theme decoration.

   "It's almost done, when do you think you'll be free to come back and sign the contract?" Xiang Yang asked.

  An Feng thought for a while: "About the end of August, I'll drop by. If you lack funds, I can transfer the money first."

  Xiang Yang said: "It's not about the money, I'm just afraid that you, the nobleman, forget things too much and don't remember this. We have finished the decoration, and we are still in a daze without knowing the share!"

An Feng smiled: "No matter how forgetful I am, I can't forget my old classmates. Don't worry, I will definitely pass by the end of August, and my niece has to go back to China. And that kid Wang Le, I don't know where. When I find him, everyone will go there together and sign as soon as possible."

   It is very necessary for An Feng to go back and drop by the Xiongzi family to attend the opening ceremony of the new school. In addition, he has to take advantage of the start of the game to go to the UK. Liverpool's boss has not been seen for nearly a year. Can be so irresponsible, I am afraid that this is the only family.

  Last season, Liverpool ranked third in points. There is still a little gap from An Feng's hope for the immediate championship. This year Liverpool spent another 70 million pounds to buy players, and they have been very proud since changing the boss.

   Anyway, God knows whether the investment can be recovered, once entering the Premier League is like a sea.

   After arguing with Xiang Yang for about ten minutes, An Feng said with a smile: "Okay, I guess your phone bill is about to run out, so let's talk about it when we have something to go back."

   After hanging up the phone, An Feng rarely thought about the matter of Berg Company.

   Recently they are considering a stake in Nokia - in this case Nokia in Finland. Berg intends to hold Nokia. If not, they will extend the time for brand authorization with Nokia, because there is not much time left to transfer from Microsoft.

  According to the original intention of An Feng to engage in mobile phone picture names and defraud money, it is a bit "outdated" now, because Nokia is really popular. Of course, the brand's nostalgia and Microsoft's patent green light have helped a lot, but as it stands, it can do better.

An Feng considers the idea of ​​major shareholders cashing out, which is feasible, but there is not enough time. The outside world is very concerned about the timing of the brand authorization of Berg Company. Will magnify, investors are not fools.

  Berg Company has to extend the time now, or simply acquire Nokia to achieve full control, and allow it to operate independently in order to take care of the mood of the group. Just like the Fiat Group holding Ferrari, Ferrari is operated independently, and Fiat will not interfere.

Whether it is extension or holding, as long as the time is settled, fame and money will be preserved. Joanna will be listed as an outstanding youth because of her great contribution, and because of the increase in the company's value, she will be able to draw more cash... until the company's High-tech advantages disappear.

Nokia's technological advantages will disappear because GP Electronics has conflicts with Burger. If only Nokia technology is given, the value of Berger will increase, but it will reduce the sales of microchips and graphene screens; and expand the sales of these two, It will affect the value of Berg company.

  The balance point here is hard to find.

   Moreover, An Feng is still a little negative. He believes that mobile phones will be replaced sooner or later. After three or four generations of popularity, they will decline. Then promote the holographic and light-sensitive touch technology that GP will realize in the future. This is also the reason why there was no communication development at the beginning. But now it's messed up.

Not only is Anfeng's vision limited, but even the senior management of GP company is wrong. They think that the battery industry and chips are absolutely dominant and monopolistic, and the mobile phone industry is not optimistic about it. Now they have come up with a magic weapon to stop bullets. The whole world is on fire.

   This was also dug up by sensitive media, calling it a major mistake of GP company, but no one thought that GP company was busy expanding at the time, borrowing billions of dollars, how could it have spare funds to engage in weak projects? If the company were to start from scratch, there would be no spare cash at that time, and it would not be in line with An Feng's pursuit of fame and fortune and the idea of ​​defrauding money.

  Fortunately, it doesn't matter to the Texas consortium, whether it is GP or Berger, they control it.

  …

An Feng answered the phone the next day, and Brian from RM called again. This year's Monterey auction was very lively, and there were many highlights. Participate in the auction. Two major heavyweights have attracted much attention.

An Feng will definitely participate in the auction. It is customary to bring out some of his own collections this year. This time, he chose Lamborghini, but there are not many collections. The valuable ones are Reventon and the Sixth Element. Then he will also send Countach-5000-Qv to the exhibition. The theme is naturally classic.

   This black Countach is from the 1987 model. An Feng only bought it for 250,000 US dollars. You can already see Lamborghini's style on it—scissor doors, wedge-shaped body and a huge engine compartment at the rear. The classic image has lasted for more than 30 years and has been affecting the present.

   It’s just that the value of the model is not very stable. A few decades ago, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Calculated according to the inflation rate, 250,000 dollars is not much to earn. Collectible cars still have to be legendary models, especially the value of Ferrari. Its value has been rising, and the brand has a unique charm.

   When it was time for the exhibition, the two cars were loaded and sent away, and An Feng drove one of them himself.

In order to fit the theme of the exhibition, he chose a convertible car, and the Lamborghini Reventon became the target. This car is relatively rare. There are only two types of closed top and convertible in the early 40s. There are very few people in the world who can own it. Lamborghini The car is relatively cheap.

It’s not too old yet. The 2008 model has GPS navigation and high-fidelity audio. It’s still very futuristic. The central control instrument panel has a full LCD display, and the display interface is transplanted into a fighter jet. When the roar of the engine comes from behind, it makes people feel full of driving Desire, but drive it with care.

  This car crashed, but it is really over, there is no repair. Although the body of the carbon fiber car is hard, if it exceeds the limit, it will damage the whole body in order to protect the safety of the driver. This rare sports car in the world will have to be reduced by one, and other collectors will definitely celebrate with champagne.

  Before departure, An Feng changed into a long-sleeve shirt and jeans, which fit the car and gave people a serious feeling. Of course, it was mainly because Joanna felt that it matched her today's dress...the last is the truth. The car is still in the garage, **** out, with California plates on the rear.

It is worth mentioning that the DMV (Department of Vehicles) in the United States is very user-friendly. It can apply for no front license plate for some special cars, but there are also non-special ones to apply for no front license plate—such as Tesla’s model -s car model. It is very easy to apply for a company like Anfeng.

  Because of the shape of the front face, there is no suitable place for a license plate in front of it, and you have to drill a few holes into the carbon fiber body, which is too extravagant. In the end, it only hangs the rear license plate and is legal to go on the road. Anfeng usually chooses the convertible model, and the submarine gray makes the sports car full of futuristic sense.

  But in addition to the handsome appearance, the ride is actually not comfortable. The non-adjustable racing seats are hard. If you speed up and then try to overtake, the wife who looks in the mirror in the co-pilot will not let you sleep on the sofa tonight. That is true love. So Anfeng chooses the most comfortable mode to open.

  …

   Arrive in Monterey, Pebble Beach Stadium is full of people coming and going, very lively.

  The activity has been started for several days, until today is the theme of the auto show, there will be classic cars, as well as modern cars that steal the limelight of classic cars. It's like the sports car driven by An Feng, from approaching to slowly advancing with other sports cars, all the way is focused by the camera lens.

   Naturally, they are going into battle with big sunglasses, so let’s take pictures of others.

The appearance of a rare artifact also successfully took away the limelight of other big money. For example, the rare Aston Martin one-77 next to it was ignored by no one, and the Bugatti Supersport following behind was also ignored by many people. Keep your eyes on the rarest and most handsome ones first.

  Even if its performance is not very good, but the shape is everything... This world depends on the face.

An Feng drove the car from the main road to the lawn according to the road signs. Under the reminder of the staff and the camera lens, he showed off his quality as a racing driver. Without hesitation, he accurately parked the car in the exhibition area. , right next to his other two Lamborghinis.

  Push up the coolest Lamborghini scissor doors to get off the car, and then help his lady who is dressed up today like she is going to a cocktail dance to get out of the car.

  The crowd of onlookers here increased significantly.

   After An Feng satisfies the request of the cameraman who knows him to take a photo, he takes Joanna away.

  There are seats reserved in a themed restaurant and bar nearby. Duke and Howard are also there. We sit together and chat about auto shows and auctions. Afterwards, the driver Cooper also came to the scene. He heard from Duke that he would come to help Duke win the classic car competition medal.

  An Feng asked: "What model?"

   Duke said: "Ferrari '53 375-MM-Spider."

   "Excellent." An Feng said, "Are you interested in changing hands?"

   "Hey, stop!" Duke said with a smile, "It's my favorite collection, I know you're a collector, but don't pay attention to it."

   "It's not the first time I've heard this sentence." An Feng said that many collectors say that collections are the most precious, and they were not sent to auction in the end.

   "This is different. After the race, it is the champion car, and its value doubles." Duke said.

  An Feng understands, here is the little abacus!

  An Feng has a lot of money recently. Just like Joanna likes to collect all kinds of handbags, wallets and high-heeled shoes, he also likes to collect sports cars. Chatted with them about some races, and then turned to Cooper. When it comes to future arrangements, An Feng is more concerned because he is a shareholder of the GP team.

  Recently, Cooper has signed a three-year contract with the GP team and is preparing to compete in the competition.

Cooper said some insider information: "At present, Maserati and GP are discussing with FIA, preparing to start a brand new E-GT global race, which is similar to the MC Challenge, with high horsepower and high speed, but has many requirements for big manufacturers. Models are provided by several fixed manufacturers in pursuit of greater fairness."

Duke proposed: "To learn the advantages of NASCAR, the models and technologies are provided by several manufacturers, which reduces the cost of research and development, and makes the winning or losing factors of the race more concentrated on the driver. You also know that NASCAR's investment is far less than that of F1. , but the income of the top drivers is not much different, because the research and development expenses of the team are not much, the profit is far higher than that of F1, and more can be distributed to the drivers, so that the race can last for a long time."

"This is the key point that needs to be considered." An Feng knows that it is great for big manufacturers to spend money to win the championship, but it will dampen the enthusiasm of small teams and become a stage for businesses to burn money. They are happy, but it will hurt the whole team. The game will also make the audience no longer like the obviously unfair game.

  Duke continued: "But electric car racing requires technological content, and a good balance must be controlled here."

Since the MC Challenge made Maserati and electric racing cars famous all over the world, the FIA ​​is ready to welcome electric car racing. Currently, Maserati, Ferrari and Audi jointly promote E-GT. They will provide models and important electric motor technology. The event may also be divided grade.

  In order to cope with different competitions, Maserati’s headquarters is developing flagship models. The legendary LaMaserati may appear, but according to internal information, after separating from Fiat, it is unlikely that Maserati will use Ferrari’s flagship chassis. It should be a brand new model.
